Quality is everything in this market as landlords increasingly recognize the need to choose an agent that gives them total peace of mind. Changing legislation is also a big issue for our landlords hence our continued investment in Sara and her team to ensure that all have the most upto date and appropriate industry qualifications. “

Sara Hawkins adds: “I love my job and I’m very fortunate to have the support of such a talented team. We now manage over 500 properties and act on behalf of some 400 landlords – that’s a huge achievement and I look forward to further developing our profile as the leading rentals agent in the area.”
